It almost doesn't make sense, but yes, this is a replica. Z4 interior (bonus = no Z8 dash reflections!), but fellas look at that bodywork! I'm usually quite quick to spot a replica instead, even when it comes to hard to differentiate AC Cobras or Superperformance cars,... but this... this is amazing.

It has a bunch of kilometers and its only got the 2.5L out of the first gen Z4, but c'mon at 24k surely its a great price.

Now the question is,... how much are these Z8 components really worth today? And just for fun, how much time and money did this project take?

Should I get in touch?

That is actually really good. Just swap in the M3's V8 and you've got one hell of a replica.

It looks like it may need to be dropped about 1/2" or 1", and I'm not a stance guy. I'm anti- stance . But, that bodywork in uncanny.

Maybe add a supercharger or even swap in an S62 for a real Z8 replica.

That's easily one of the best replicars I've ever seen. The Z4 base is a huge plus, it's at least a proper BMW underneath and the body looks fantastic. If you've always wanted a Z8 but can't afford one, this is attainable, still a BMW roadster underneath, and is undoubtedly less costly to maintain.

That background definitely doesn't match Vancouver, regardless of the time of year.

Yeah and no front plate. Looks like Florida? Regardless of whether it is a scam, the craftmanship is undeniable (at least from looking at these pictures)

I own this car. If you want to buy it or just want more information about it, write to me at jfoxmtg1@aol.com.

It looks even better now than it does in these pictures as I’ve done a lot of work to it.
